The recorder with the article number: 1102-KUE manufactured by Küng is a musical tool that provides tireless fun in daily use. The instrument owes this mainly to the special combination of the unique model in symbiosis with the qualities of the maple material used. The material fascinates with its typical sound characteristics. The special features can be characterised as follows: Maple: Warm and clear, slightly thinner than pear wood. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound. In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale. For which musical styles can the instrument be best used? Maple is predestined for instruments that are mainly used for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible. Who this instrument is aimed at This means that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. An additional general rule of thumb is that a more sophisticated instrument generally makes playing together more enjoyable than a seemingly inexpensive bargain.
